Best Dark Sounding Amp For Bright Speakers?

Mfb33,
If you DIY, Try a generic larger powercord preferably the type with overall metal braid before going the more expensive ways. Refinement type powercords can be pursued later after you know the size and geometry to look for.

Just come across this powercord phenomenon:
Without metal braiding - bright & airy, lightweight.
The SAME cable With metal braiding - darker, deeper stage, heavier.

Your result may vary slightly from mine, but its fun to DIY and understand your system first before buying the more expensive refined versions.

Conrad Johnson MF 2200 or a BAT 3i preamp.

Mfb33, drop me an email. I'd like to send you a pair of interconnects to try out and see what you think. Need to know some specifics though before throwing them in the mail. Sean

This is what I did. Cal Labs CLD-10 > EVS Millennium DAC II > Odyssey Tempest Preamp > Odyssey Stratos Monoblocks > Infinity Kappa 9's. I/C's and speaker wire are Groneburg Quatro Ref. Digital cable is Bolder Cable w/Eichmann bullet plug. This setup does not sound bright at all. It sounds very natural and dynamic. My Kappa 9's have never sounded better.
